I know i’m a little late but i really wanted to do this mini comp. I know this is raw but i wanted to post something up before time runs out. I decided to go for a more roman/crazy look. stance is contrapposto-like to give a more classical look. i’ll update again friday.

critics and comments very welcome.

Okmer, i’m prefer a blue background, but you portrait it’s very nice!


#333

Hey. Still some days to go and the results of all of the participants are astonishing. Some crazy looking aliens, amphibians, dead and living humans and androids. Let the war begin!


Here another WiP, step 3, of Ulysses.

Ok, the beard makes it definitivly look like “300”. But who cares. They had no electronic shavers at that times. Looks more ancient and fierce with a beard.
Still two WiPs to go, more detailing, lighting, shadowing, background (some banners and pikes) and decorations. By the way, blood stains are not allowed, to violent, I bet?!?
C&C very welcome.

Hmmm… difficult.

Maybe a robe and some kind of Centaury-Hairstyle ?


#339

Perhaps something “Baron Harkonnen” style like.


#340

Or Shōgun like…
